Board Game Arena

Hi all,

I’m trying to set up a private table to play Distilled with some friends who haven’t played it before and I’l like to use the “First Taste” options for setup and the first turn. I see under Advanced Options there are preferences like “I prefer to play with First Taste” that seem like matchmaking options, but I don’t see how to specify we want to use First Taste when creating a new table. What am I missing about using this? Thanks for any info!

You need to set the game mode/speed to "friendly", Flight to "A" and then the option to set Game Setup to "First Taste" will appear

Ah thank you! That worked … sort of. Warning to everyone else … it did set up the board properly for the players and provide them with the correct distiller choice but … it didn't give us the extra money you're supposed to get for First Taste so the script pretty quickly ran afoul of illegal actions. But it was good enough to demo the game to some friends!
